Spotlight on: Hyatt Zilara

Hyatt Zilara - Cancun

Hyatt Zilara
is an all-inclusive adults only luxury resortlocated in the hotel zone in Cancun. All rooms face the ocean so even
the rooms where the view is blocked a little by the tall palm trees will get a
glimpse of the ocean. You can visit the nearby Hyatt Ziva family resort for
dinner.

The hotel has
307 suites over 8 floors. The décor is elegant and traditional.

Pool

The resort
has an infinity pool overlooking the beach. Pool service is available for
drinks, but not food. The chairs have individual shades on the top plus some
umbrellas are available. Day beds are available first come, first serve so
you’ll need to get to the pool early to get one. The swim up bar hosts the pool
activities. A quieter pool is also available.

Beach

The beach has
some seaweed. Bar service is available on the beach.Day beds have some shade, but lounge chairs
don’t have much. The cabanas are also available first come, first serve on the
beach.

Restaurants

No
reservations are required for most restaurants. Hibachi tables in the Asian
restaurants require reservations because they only seat 16 people at a time.
Guests in an ocean front suite or higher category of room have the option to
reserve The Chef’s Plate - a 2.5 hour experience for 16 guests or the Asian
Rice Table - an Asian culinary experience for 8 guests. Some restaurants offer
live music during dinner.

Asian Rice Table

I met with
the Director of Food and Beverage when I visited the resort in October 2015. Food
allergies are flagged in the system. When you give your room number at the
restaurant, an alert comes up so the restaurant captain and the chef can work
together to prepare your meal. Allergy safe meals are available through room
service. Please note this will increase the wait time since the meals have to
be specially prepared in the kitchen.At
the buffet,you can review what’s available
and ask for a special meal. If the Chef has the ingredients on hand, he may be
able to make it. Again, there will be a wait for the Chef to specially prepare
the dish. The food and beverage team
will also change out the liquor in your room if needed.

Room Service
is available 24 hours a day.The 24 Hour
Bar and Lounge is available 24 hours a day.

Activities and Night Life

When I
visited the resort in October 2015, a performance troupe held shows in the main
lobby on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.The Lounges sometimes have light music until
10 pm. On Tuesday afternoons from 3 pm - 6 pm is a foam party in the main pool.
Saturdays bring a White Night Party so be sure to pack your best white outfit.The 24 Hour Bar and Lounge has Sunday ticket
so you don’t have to miss your NFL football.

The Spa has a
sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, and plunge pool available to all guests.

It’s a
great place to change if you happen to get to the resort before your room is
ready.

This resort
would be great for a group of friends or a fun-loving couple. The nightlife is
right outside the door on the Cancun strip. The vibe is friendly and fun - not
too romantic. The entry level rooms are great so you can feel confident booking
those. I personally would likely book an ocean front room to try to get
reservations at the Chef’s Plate and Asian Rice Table.

Considering a Disney Vacation?

About Me

The travel bug bit me when I was 12 years old and went on a French Club trip to Quebec, Canada. I haven't stopped since. Traveling is my passion. I became a travel agent because I love creating fantastic vacations.

I specialize in honeymoons and romantic getaways, cruises, family vacations - especially Walt Disney World, and group travel such as family reunions, girlfriend getaways, and 3 generation trips.

I know what you are thinking - is this going to cost me more? In most cases - no. I make a commission from the hotel or cruise line so your vacation will be similarly priced to what you would have paid if you booked it yourself.

So when you are ready to book your next favorite vacation, please email me or give me a call. I am ready and excited to help. My email - tripswithangie@gmail.com and my phone number is 813-501-3106.
